My name is Chiara, I am 26 years old and I am Italian. I lived in the South of Italy for most of my life, until I finished high school. I studied classical subjects, such as Latin and Greek, Literature, Italian (Liceo Classico). These studies made me appreciate my native language even more, which is why I would like to tutor someone who is learning it or wants to learn it. When I was 18 years old, I moved to London to study Journalism. In 2018 I graduated and I am now working as a freelance journalist.I am passionate about languages: I can speak Italian and English fluently, Spanish and German...

Holly E
Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to apply to the London Academy of Excellence (LAE). Can a tutor help them prepare?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students meet the high entry requirements for competitive sixth forms like LAE. They can focus on strengthening your child's essay writing, textual analysis, and communication skills to help their application stand out.
We're aiming for a top London university like UCL or Queen Mary. How can an English tutor support this goal?
A strong A-Level English grade is often a prerequisite for top universities. A tutor can provide foundational support at GCSE level and continue through A-Levels, helping your child develop the advanced analytical and critical thinking skills needed to excel in their exams and write a compelling personal statement.
How do I find the right English tutor for my child?
You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in the right level, from primary school to A-Level. You can watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them directly to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding the right personality and teaching style for your child.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the level of study. Tutors set their own rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor who fits your family's budget.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How can a tutor help my child improve their GCSE English grade?
A tutor provides personalised attention that's hard to get in a busy classroom. They can identify specific areas where your child is struggling, whether it's understanding Shakespeare or structuring essays, and work through them at your child's pace. This targeted support is why 90% of students improve by at least one grade.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks, before they can join our platform.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat and an interactive whiteboard. A tutor might use the whiteboard to analyse a poem together, work through practice exam questions, or collaboratively edit an essay in real-time. Each session is tailored to your child's goals.
How long are the tutoring sessions and how often should they be?
Lessons are typically one hour long, and most families find that one session per week works best. However, this is completely flexible. You can discuss the ideal frequency with your tutor based on your child's goals, whether they need ongoing weekly support or a few intensive sessions before an exam.
How can tutoring help my child build confidence, not just grades?
Confidence comes from understanding. When a tutor explains something in a way that finally 'clicks' for your child, it's a huge boost. This one-to-one encouragement in a safe, supportive space helps them feel more comfortable asking questions and sharing ideas, which translates into more confidence in the classroom.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills like coding or playing the guitar?
While we have thousands of expert academic tutors, we also offer tuition in a wide range of other areas! You can find tutors for music, languages, coding, and professional development skills. It's all about helping your child pursue their passions.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback on your child’s development. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss their progress. Often, the first sign you'll see is your child feeling more positive and less stressed about their English homework and exams.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
